My best friend was dying and I was in love with his girl.
Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.
Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.
Watching him slowly fade away, ever closer to his final breath, made me so incredibly angry. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it--I had given in to despair, but Andy had not. He had one last hand to play.
He wasn't going to simply sit back and wait for Death to claim him--not Andy. He was going to live life until he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer.
Andy didn't want to die in some sterile hospital and asked me to take him and Emily to the beach. It would be our last road trip together.
Emily. Emily was a problem for me.
I harbored a secret that would have torn our friendship apart. I was in love with Andy's girl, and had been since she'd walked into our sixth grade class, so many years ago.
So what kind of person am I? My best friend is dying, and it's awful--but my heart still aches for his girl. I hate myself for thinking beyond Andy's death and whether there could ever be a future for Emily and I, but I can't help it.
I'm in love with her.
WOW!! All I can say is AHH-MAZING!!!! This was such a heartbreaking but beautiful story!!!
Seth has been in love with Em from the moment he laid eyes on her but didn't make the first move first and she ended up with Andy. Over all these years, his feeling have never changed and it has always been Em for him but she was off limits since she belonged to Andy. He felt so much guilt for loving his best friends girl.
"She was perfect in everyway, and I'd spent the last ten years fighting my love for her. But she was my best friends girl. And he was dying. Part of me hoped that meant one day we could be together. That made me a complete asshole."
Emily lost her parents when she was younger to a car accident. Having no other family, Andy and Seth was her everything. They always done everything together in life. She could not remember one memory without the other in it. At one time, she had feelings for Seth but never thought he was interested so when her and Andy started dating, he became her world.
Andy knows his time here on earth is coming to an end. Not wanting to die in the hospital he gets Emily and Seth to sneak him out of his parents house and take him to a beach house to spend his last remaining time fulfilling his bucket list. All he wants is for the two most important people to be happy and loved when he is gone. Andy isn't afraid of dying, he just doesn't want to leave Emily but he knows he has no choice. He breaks it to Seth that he knows he is in love with Emily and tells him he wants the two of them to be together.
"The worst part isn’t the thought of dying itself, it’s everything you’re going to be leaving behind."
Em knows things between her and Andy have been different for a while and although she loves him with all her heart she also has a strong connection with Seth. She knows that without Andy, the only person she will ever have to comfort her is Seth. When Andy breaks it to her how Seth really feels, how will she react? Will their relationship ever be the same?
OMG!!! I knew Andy was going to die but it completely broke my heart!!! Cancer is such a horrible disease!! I really wish no person or family ever had to go thru losing a loved one to cancer. My heart broke for both Em and Seth.
Life after Andy will never be the same but will Em and Seth ever be a real couple? Will Seth ever get his HEA with the girl he has always loved?
The ending to me was perfect. I couldn't imagine losing the man I loved to death and then learning to love again but I think the way the book ended really wrapped everything up.
